BIG Stripers in Massachusetts! Tips on using Live Mackerel

[@HISBounty]

Great Video Bolt!!! Tight lines brother.

[@BoltFinAtics]

Thank ya brother! Always look foward to see yours as well. Loved the tournament day video!

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

Great video brother! Definitely one of my absolute favorite places to fish. Big fish, crystal water, and no other fisherman.

[@BoltFinAtics]

Thank ya brother! This made trip #2. No other place like it and great folks up there as well. It was nice not playing pinball on the water with other boats

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

@@BoltFinAtics it amazes me every time. Even on weekends the place is empty as far as Striper boats anyway. Tons of moored boats and stinky Lobster boats, but that’s it. I can’t figure it out.

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

@@BoltFinAtics This was our first trip up there. Joe was only 18 and got to see the southern style for live bait Stripers 😁😁😁😉😉. Great kid, Great family. We should shoot something together soon. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3K5l5mHjbice5o

[@BoltFinAtics]

I got to meet Joe and his Dad. Great guys. Just let me know when. We can head to the bay for some strips or you can head this way for some river monsters

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

@@BoltFinAtics I thought you’d dig seeing planer boards up there. Shoot me an email [e-mail]

[@6atlantis]

What pound test leader do you use when live lining Mack’s, without any rocks around?

[@kyungchangkim7255]

Hello, I love your KZbin videos s. I would also like to visit Jodrey State Fish Pier Gloucester, MA for the exciting experience. I was wondering if you knew the timeframe for mackerel fishing at Jodrey State Fish Pier. Please, let me know!

[@BoltFinAtics]

Thank you so much for the kind words. We hope to have new content out very soon so stay tuned. I will make a call and find out about the best time for mackerel and get back to you. Happy Holidays

[@BoltFinAtics]

My friend from there tells me May to September is the best time

[@redsoxwinagain2007]

Cool video. Was this last season in 2020?

[@BoltFinAtics]

Thank you. It was summer of 2020. Great placed to visit in the warmer months! Not man enough to battle the long winters

[@jayarapi9699]

Is that a treble hook I see??

[@BoltFinAtics]

We were on a commercial vessel for hire. Otherwise we would have had to use circle hooks. Rules are different in each state so make sure to check out what the requirements in your state. I have promoted using sabiki rigs in Virginia and then found that in some states there is a maximum hook amount per line. We always do our part to protect these beautiful fish so the next generation can have the same opportunity

[@joeshannon1319]

Is it better to use a bait runner reel

[@BoltFinAtics]

Whit swears by them. I found that trolling at 3mph worked great. Allowed time for the fish to take the bait without feeling tension

[@marucsahle]

What do you have on the bottom of your sabiki?

[@BoltFinAtics]

Its a 2 or 3 ounce bank sinker. Helps keep it vertical when on the move

[@6atlantis]

Captain had a Diamond jig

[@bobmuniak2903]

What time of year was this?

[@Maddies_SunRays]

Hi uncle Chris it’s Maddie

[@BoltFinAtics]

Hi sweetie pie! Are you ready to catch big fish too? Everyone reading this, this is my Niece's new inspired KZbin channel MadMarie's Madness. Please take the time to see how amazing she is! I love you sweetie!!

[@brendaeberwein8338]

Oh how I miss striped bass fishing

[@BoltFinAtics]

I hope we were able to make you feel like you were right there with us! Our mission is to share our passion with the world

[@brendaeberwein8338]

@@BoltFinAtics Oh yes you sure did. Love your video. Thank you so much. I used to take my daughter when she was young to the goat island bridge and fish for Mackerel and Squid every year they were running. It was lots of fun. I can't get enough of fishing. I'm so addicted. I used to live in Rhode Island as I was born and raised there and now I live in Michigan and go salmon trout and steelhead fishing. Those salmon are extremely strong. Lots of fun too. But I miss home.

[@BoltFinAtics]

Hey there's nothing wrong with Salmon and steelheads. 2 fish that are still on my list to catch. I heard they were a blast to catch. Well maybe you have a chance this year for you and your daughter to make a trip back to Rhode Island and bring back some good memories.

[@brokenpolefishing7268]

I catch a drum in the yard it was a spot from John law

[@BoltFinAtics]

That guy catches fish in his sleep! Lol Fish Wisperer

[@6atlantis]

You guys using trebles with live bait in 2021?

[@BoltFinAtics]

This was in 2020 on a commercial vessel for hire.

[@dianatran5906]

can i join the trip?

[@CourtneyAdkins-g7i]

Do you not let people throw their own fish back

[@CourtneyAdkins-g7i]

Guy i love that you're a guide but everyone can learn you kind of act like you know it all already its wildlife brotha unpredictable sometimes

[@Maddies_SunRays]

I showed James and he stole my phone

[@garytyree9012]

So Nice 💘💘💘💘💘💘

[@1planters]

Lord knows I hate a guide who thinks you've never been fishing before. he's a nice guy but he should shut the hell up occasionally. you can't tell someone exactly what to say when you get a bite

[@BoltFinAtics]

I completely know what you mean, but Whit's a good friend of ours and the technique he uses is a lot different then what we're use to. He's a really good fisherman that's just trying to bring us up to par on the fast track. Thanks for watching. We hope to have boat loads more videos to come

[@1planters]

@@BoltFinAtics He seemed like a really nice guy
